Low bp: First document that your blood pressures are accurate. If so, reducing the dose is recommended as low blood pressure, especially in older age groups, is potentially dangerous. However, don't do any changes without the ok and supervision of your treating physician.

Hi Drs. My blood pressure was high and my Dr. switched me from Losartan 100mg to Losartan Hctz 100mg. I have a one month supply. Should I take all 30 pills before seeing the doctor or should I take the pills on a trial basis and see the Dr in a week?
Good morning doctors. I take Losartan HCTZ 100mg and Metoprolol ER 100mg. Would it be better (or not better) for my blood pressure control to have both medications with a diuretic/water pill?
Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?
